This Indiana Brewery Was Just Ranked The Best In The State

Indiana’s craft beer scene is crowded, competitive, and full of passionate fans, but one brewery just claimed the top spot statewide.

A national food publication has named 3 Floyds Brewing the best brewery in Indiana, solidifying what many Hoosiers have believed for years.

The Takeout praised the brewery for consistently producing highly rated beers and for creating what many fans consider a world-class destination for craft beer lovers.

Why 3 Floyds Continues To Stand Out

Founded in 1996, 3 Floyds Brewing helped put Indiana on the national craft beer map long before the industry exploded. After relocating from Hammond to Munster, the brewery grew into a full-fledged craft beer mecca.

Among its most celebrated releases is Marshmallow Handjee, an imperial stout that regularly ranks among the best in its category nationwide. It is the kind of beer that draws collectors, enthusiasts, and long road trips.

Beyond the beer itself, devotees point to the taproom experience, the brewery’s bold identity, and its unapologetically intense flavor profiles as reasons 3 Floyds remains in a league of its own.

A Point Of Pride For Indiana Craft Beer Fans

Indiana has no shortage of breweries doing great work, which makes this recognition especially meaningful. Being named the best in the state by a national publication is not just a nod to one brewery, but to the strength of Indiana’s craft beer culture as a whole.

For longtime fans, the honor feels less like a surprise and more like an overdue confirmation. See the full list of breweries that made the list here.
